Wu-tang Clan - Liquid Swords lyrics

When I was little, my father was famous He was the greatest samurai in the empire And he was the Shogun's decapitator He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords It was a bad time for the empire The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out People said his brain was infected by devils My father would come home he would forget about the k**ings He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him Maybe that was the problem Then, one night, the Shogun sent his Ninja spies to our house They were supposed to k** my father, but they didn't That was the night everything changed See, sometimes, you gotta flash 'em back See n***as don't know where this sh** started Y'all know where it came from I'm sayin' we gonna take y'all back to the swords, we bounce, yo When the MC's came To live our their name and to perform Some had, to snort c**aine to act insane With before Pete Rocked it on, now gone That the mental plane to spark the brain With the building to be born Yo, RZA flip the track with the what to guy Check 'em check chicka icka etta, uhh Fake n***as get blitzed And mic bites I swing swords and cut clowns sh** is too swift to bite you record and write it down I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe On some loud howl sh**, to insert a fiend But it was yo ock, the shop stolen heart Catch a swollen heart from not rollin' smart I put mad pressure, on phony wack rhymes that get hurt sh**'s played, like Zodiac signs on Sweatshirt That's minimum and feminine like sandals My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble Energy is felt once the cards are dealt With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts That attack, the mic-fones like cyclones or typhoon I represent from midnight to high noon I don't waste ink, n***a I think I drop megaton bombs more faster than you blink 'Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed Clouds of smoke, of natural blends of weed Only under one circumstance is if I'm blunted Turn that sh** up, my clan in da front want it When the MC's came To live our their name and to perform Some had, to snort c**aine to act insane With before Pete Rocked it on, now gone That the mental plane to spark the brain With the building to be born Yo, RZA flip the track with the what to guy Check 'em check chicka icka etta, uhh I'm on a Mission, that n***as say is Impossible But when I swing my swords they all choppable I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper Child educator, plus head amputator 'Cause n***as styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers Don't even stop in my station and attack While your plan failed, hit the rail, like Amtrak What the f** for? Down by law, I make law I be justice, I sentence that a** two to four Round the clock, that state pen time check it With the pens I be stickin' but you can't stick to crime Came through with the Wu, slid off on the DL I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells Now come aboard, it's Medina bound Into the chamber and it's a whole different sound It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels n***as are fascinated how the sh** begin Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin When the MC's came To live our their name and to perform Some had, to snort c**aine to act insane With before Pete Rocked it on, now gone That the mental plane to spark the brain With the building to be born Yo, RZA flip the track with the what to guy Check 'em check chicka icka etta, uhh
